By set wise analyzing GATE Computer Science & Information Technology paper for the 8 years from 2008-2015 we can conclude that Data Structures and Algorithms, Operating System, Computer Networks & DBMS are the most important subjects from number of questions & marks point of view. So candidate must prepare these subjects very well.

The reason behind providing this subject wise and set wise analysis is that the candidates can understand what subject(s) they need to prepare first and if time is less what subject(s) they can skip or prepare less using subject wise analysis & by using set wise analysis candidate can understand that what are the subjects, common in all sets of a branch from which most of the questions are being asked. We hope this analysis will help candidate in their GATE 2016 exam preparation.
